Chapter 204: Let Me Say a Few Words (Part 2)

Old Bian was startled, then burst into laughter, placing his hand on Old Yan’s forehead, “Hahaha, how many times have I said, when you’re not in a stable condition, you should rest and not meddle in school affairs! Principal Gao, forgive my bluntness, but I suggest our school should spend some money to have Old Yan’s head examined again, he seems to have developed delusions!”

Old Bian meant no harm; he was just merciless with his words.

No matter what Old Yan said, he just wouldn’t believe it.

Not just him.

Everyone who heard Old Yan’s words burst into laughter.

It’s understandable to refer to someone else as a dark horse.

But.

Zhao Qingfeng?

Probably not!

Think about it.

He had made a bet with his aunts to be among the top three in the county.

Could an eighteen-year-old kid have such strong mental resilience?

Moreover.

His score of 250 in the third mock exam spoke volumes.

Not to mention.

At the end of the university entrance examination, Zhao Qingfeng was the last one to leave the exam hall. He even told reporters that he was too sleepy and fell asleep. Could such a carefree and cynical waste become the top scorer of the university entrance examination?

“Why don’t you believe it!”

Old Yan was getting anxious and, in his agitation, suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Quick, quick, quick!”

Old Bian felt a pang of guilt, “Old Yan, I was wrong, okay? I believe you, I believe you! Please don’t spit blood. If you die, who will I argue with! Zhao Qingfeng is the top scorer, okay? He’s the top scorer of the county, the province, the whole country!”

Fortunately, the 100,000 yuan previously given by Zhao Qingfeng had an effect, and Old Yan’s body was still holding up.

This commotion immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Aunt Ding and Qingfeng’s mother also heard clearly but, like others, couldn’t believe it and hurried over to comfort Old Yan.

And Shen Lingyao.

Felt the drama was getting too big and stood up to stop Zhao Qingfeng from speaking.

“Brother Qingfeng!”

She stood below the stage, her little face tense, “Come down, stop making a scene, Old Yan has been angered to the point of spitting blood…”

Zhao Qingfeng saw everything clearly and felt very distressed.

But at this moment, he absolutely could not step down. He slightly raised his eyebrows at Shen Lingyao, then picked up the microphone. With just a light sentence, he attracted everyone’s attention.

“Thank you to my fellow townsman, Li Sibo, the county’s second-highest scorer, for giving me, the top scorer, an opportunity to speak. I apologize to all the uncles and aunts, our family hasn’t prepared to host a celebration banquet yet. But that doesn’t stop me from inviting everyone here to attend my future celebration banquet in the coming days. Also, I have something important to say, becoming the top scorer is of great significance, so I’ve decided, anyone who can personally attend my and Yaoyao’s celebration banquet will receive a small red envelope worth 200 yuan from me and my Lingfeng Technology Company, as a token of appreciation for the long-standing support and care for me and my mother, this mother and son duo who have been alone in this world!”

His voice was steady and resolute, and no one interrupted.

However,

As his words fell,

Doubts surged like a tidal wave.

What was he talking about?

Top scorer? Red envelopes!

Although every greedy soul wanted to collect the red envelope, the vast majority still thought Zhao Qingfeng was making a tasteless joke.

“Get down!”

“Get off the stage, stop spouting nonsense!”

“If you’re the top scorer, then what is our little Bo, blowing your own trumpet!”

The Li family was the first to protest, preparing to drag Zhao Qingfeng down.

The aunts also looked down on him, thinking Zhao Qingfeng had lost his mind, fearing the loss of the house and desecration of his father’s grave at the last moment, surely a mental breakdown!

The scene was uproariously chaotic, almost tearing the roof down. Principal Gao couldn’t wait any longer, because of the presence of recruitment teachers from Huaqing and Beijing University among others, so he quickly stepped onto the podium, stopping the rowdy crowd, “Give me some respect, I’m the principal of County No. 2 Middle School! Can I say a few words, please?”
